Na Mbeannaíochtaí (The Beatitudes II) (original)

Beannaithe na boicht:
Beidsean i dtigh Dé;
Beannaithe an drong mhín:
Tír neimhe a dtír féin.
Beannaithe lucht an bhróin:
Sólás dóibh is dú;
Beannaithe lucht síth':
Clann Dé Bhí iad siúd.
Beannaithe an t-ocrach ceart
Óir sástar i dtigh Dé;
Beannaithe lucht dua
'Fhulaingíos cruas fán gcóir;
Beannaithe fós iad sin —
Lucht an chroí ghlain réidh;
Ní beag an luach é:
Teach Dé 'dhlítear dóibh.
Beannaithe fós iad sin —
Lucht an chroí ghlain réidh;
In ainm an Athar go mbuaidh,
In ainm an Mhic fuair an phian,
In ainm an Spioraid Naoimh le neart,
Muire 's a Mac linn ag triall.
In ainm an Athar go mbuaidh,
In ainm an Mhic fuair an phian,
In ainm an Spioraid Naoimh le neart,
Muire 's a Mac linn ag triall.
(Blessed are the poor:
In God’s house shall they dwell;
And blessed too the gentle ones:
The land of Heaven is theirs.
Blessed are the sorrowful:
Solace is due unto them;
Blessed are the peaceful:
They are the family of the Living God.
Blessed are the truly hungry
For they are satisfed in God’s house;
Blessed are those who suffer
Who endure hardship for justice;
More blessed even still are they —
The clean and pure of heart;
It is no small reward:
God’s House is their desserts.
More blessed even still are they —
The clean and pure of heart;
In the name of the Father of virtues,
In the name of the Son who suffered the pain,
In the name of the powerful Holy Spirit,
May Mary and her Son journey with us.
In the name of the Father of virtues,
In the name of the Son who suffered the pain,
In the name of the powerful Holy Spirit,
May Mary and her Son journey with us.)

(translation)

Blessed are the poor:
They shall be in the house of God;
Blessed is the gentle gang:
Heaven country their own country.
Blessed are those who mourn:
Consolation to them is black;
Blessed are the peacemakers':
They were the children of God.
Blessed is the right hungry
For there is joy in the house of God;
Blessed are the hard ones
'I endured the hardships of justice;
Blessed still are these -
Those of the pure heart ready;
The value is not small:
They owe the House of God.
Blessed still are these -
Those of the pure heart ready;
In the name of the Father to victory,
In the name of the Son he received the pain,
In the name of the Holy Spirit with power,
Mary and her Son on their way.
In the name of the Father to victory,
In the name of the Son he received the pain,
In the name of the Holy Spirit with power,
Mary and her Son on their way.
